About this dataset
The lowest, average and highest elevation of the land inside every barangay, city, municipality, province, region and island group of the Philippines, from the Copernicus DEM GLO-30, a 30 m surface model of the European Union's Copernicus programme. It is a surface model: it reads the tops of trees and roofs, not the bare ground, and the sea is left out. A city, province or region is the sum of its barangays' 30 m cells.
How the figures were made: Radar measurements from the TanDEM-X mission (2011 to 2015), processed into the Copernicus DEM; summed over each place's border by Scene.
What Scene adds: Every place's lowest, average and highest ground, summed from the model inside its border.
What it holds
- Lowest, average and highest
- In metres above sea level, over the 30 m cells whose centre lies inside the border.
- Highest point
- Where the highest cell lies, as latitude and longitude.
